The reviewer praised the affordable price, high-quality screen, and battery life of the device. In conclusion, he stated that it's a decent smartphone that doesn't look to its competitors.

In conclusion, the reviewer stated: "The Meizu M6 is a good budget phone from the company that you won't be ashamed to use. Yes, it's far from perfect, but it also doesn't have any significant flaws that would make you want to reject it."[3]

The reviewer named Flyme and high-quality software as the smartphone's main advantages. In conclusion, they said that the smartphone performs its basic functions well. However, there are competitors that offer better features for the same price.[5]
